I'm sure i've said all these things before at some point in time, but I'm gonna say them again.
We live with my mother-in-law. It's her house. We moved in over 14 years ago to be with her after my father-in-law passed. It was a mistake on my part.
The house we live in is being sold. The house will be torn down. The only home that my children have ever known, will be gone. The homeplace for my husband will be gone. The place my mother in law has lived for so many years, will be gone.
That is...if the city council votes to rezone the property where our house sits. We won't know that until September 19. So our lives have been in limbo, not knowing what's going to happen and what we should do. Can't really look for another home until we know that this one will be sold because well, you have to have money to buy another house.
The plan right now looks like this:
* Rezone vote September 19
* If rezone passes, closing on house will be in December
* Hopefully be able to stay in the house until school let's out in June.
That's how I'd like it to happen anyway. The kids have already started school and I do not want to have to make them change in the middle of a school year. It's going to be hard anyway moving to another school district without having to do it in the middle of a year. And yes, we will have to move to another district. We won't be able to afford to buy homes near where we are living now. And we need to get out of this county, the taxes are sky high and unaffordable anymore. I think we will be moving to South Carolina.
Which leads to other issues.....
It's my mother in law's house, which means, it's her money that will pay for the new one. But....where does that leave US if something happens to her. I can't reiterate enough to my husband the fact that something needs to be in writing about the house if something were to happen to her. We gave up our lives to live with her. Had we not moved in with her, we would have some good solid years behind us of payments on a house of our own. We have put all extra monies we have had into the house we are living in now. We have paid the majority of the bills. I don't want to be left out in the cold.
Guess what we did this past weekend? We painted the living room and dining room in the old house (yes, the one that is going to be torn down). Why you ask? Well, my mother in law wants to have a family reunion....at the old "home place", before it's torn down. So, all this "WORK" has to be done to the house to make it presentatble to a shit load of people who really could care less. This weekend I have been asked to paint the doorways in the house. Yipee, what fun.
I'm not really bitching, i'm just venting. And I'm tired. Think I need a nap. Guess work wouldn't like that too much, huh?
We need to have a yard sale too, we have a whole garage full of stuff that has to go before we move. Anyone want to come and help?
Keep those who were effected by Hurricane Katrina in your thoughts and prayers. It's going to be a long road to recovery for everyone.
